Csernus Lukács - Triff Zsigmond: The Cemeteries of Budapest - Our Budapest (Budapest, 1999)
Characteristic view of urn cubicles in a former CHURCH BUILDING Nagy, a noted director of nature films; István Medgya- szay, the architect who explored the Hungarian nation’s links to the east; and, beneath a relief by Ferenc Csúcs, László Zolnay, the architect who unearthed the remarkable Gothic statues of Buda Castle. In the middle of the section is a marble statue of the Madonna by Ferenc Sidló. In one of the neighbouring plots are the ashes of the Nagy- várad-born poet-editor A kos Dutka first buried in Mária- remete and then transferred here to prevent his remains from being lost. CJrn cubicles line Sections 3 and 4, the latter belonging to the People’s Army, though ashes are no longer placed here. Taking a turn at the corner above Section 5, where poet Károly Tamkó Sirató was laid to rest, there is a new part of the cemetery built by Bürök utca to contain urns, in which the ashes of several renowned persons, including sportsmen are buried. This is where the memorial stone of the Olympic champions interred in unknown locations stands. Attached to this territory are single vaults built only recently. Returning to Section 6, you can find the grave post of Imre Palló, opera singer and director of the Opera House; a relief by the sculptor Antal Orbán depicting the sepulture and decorating his own tomb; and the graves of the following people: Árpád Tamásy, a general who defended Przemysl in World War I; László Gern, historian of architecture; László Ravasz, Calvinist bishop; Márton Keleti, film director; Béla Kondor, graphic artist, painter and poet; Gábor Sztehlo, a Lutheran minister who saved the lives 55
